Head of School's Message

Welcome to Mountain View Montessori! The staff and I are excited to immerse you and your family into the wonderful world of Montessori. Our mission is to provide a child-centered learning environment consistent with Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision for students, in transitional kindergarten through the sixth grade. We focus on the developing the whole child, going beyond academics to also nurture social, emotional, and practical life skills needed for students to be successful and productive citizens in the 21st century.

In addition to quality instruction aligned to the Montessori Method and Common Core State Standards (CCSS), we offer all of our students expanded learning opportunities that tap into their natural curiosity and desire to explore. Our elective programs include STEM/STEAM-based learning such as FIRST Lego League Jr. (FLL Jr.) projects, stop motion animation, and engineering, balanced with cultural-based electives such as art, music, and dance. Our Upper Elementary students (grades 4-6) also have the opportunity to participate in our after school FIRST Lego League (FLL) competitive robotics program. Throughout the year, we also extend opportunities for students to showcase their talents through school-wide events such as our spelling bee, Young Authors competition, Junior Olympics, and our annual talent show.

Even in our modern age, our staff still believes that “it takes a village to raise a child.” Students are more successful when families and schools are partners in education. We provide opportunities for families to assist and extend learning at home so they can be actively involved in their child’s education. We also value and encourage family support and participation in our school organizations and activities such as:

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

Advisory Committee (AC)

Monthly Head of School Coffee

English Language Advisory Committee (ELAC)

Classroom Volunteer

Field Trip Chaperone

We look forward to getting to know your student and family as we venture through a year full of exploration, excitement, and growth.
